HANSHIN HANDICAP 2200m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A genuine pace is expected with Mondial, Mega Force and Money Catcher rolling along early. SHARPEN BRIGHT (9) is racing in good order lately and steps back up to 2200m where he boasts a good record. His last start over this track and trip, he was only 1L off a Derby performer. Has enough speed to offset the sticky gate and he can return to winning ways. CHARITY GAIN (8) disappointed last time over 1800m when getting back in the run and never firing a shot. Lyle Hewitson hops back in the saddle this time and he's been close over this track and trip previously. Ticks a few boxes and can be in the finish. FALLON (5) steps up to this trip for the first time, though it doesn't look an issue judging by his recent starts at 1800m. He draws to get his chance and if he can go to another level now, he'll be hard to hold out. JUMBO LEGEND (10) is another stepping out to this trip for the first time and he can play a role in the outcome.
